Learn to cook. No processed food anymore. No sugar or just some good quality dark chocolate, one small square a day if you "need" it.

I would have carbs but only yams or sweet potatoes, brown rice, some Keto bread, fruits.

I would not cut the carbs drastically in the beginning, more gradually but never 100%.

I would just learn to cook and experiment with fresh ingredients. Every. Single. Day. Start with one meal a day cooked by you.

It doesn't take a lot of time, the food is delicious, your brain is going to thank you for it.

You can make/drink smoothies (berries, apples, some green veggies, lemon juice, some dates to make it more sweet if you like, Chia seeds).

Plus:

Enough sleep.

Sun exposure, daily 10 min.

Heavy lifting. Try squats at home for instance.

Drink more water.

Do some form of stretching daily, 10-15 min.

Try meditation and visualization techniques for losing weight and calming the mind.

Have patience, you'll see results in a few months. Use a measuring tape instead of the scale.

Take care.

I am open to suggestions

Do you track fiber, water, protein grams? You could post a food diary and it could reveal more.

We use PS 1000 Metabolic Burst drops 3 times per day on a 880 calories Nutrisystem diet. We are never hungry. My PCP checked them out and said they are fine, just vitamins.

Good luck!

Geez, if you are on a 880 calorie diet, you don't need any magic drops. I looked them up, seems they are homeopathic. Not something that is backed by science.


And $185 for 4 ounces!! WOW. No thanks.

Aren't you saying this doesn't work on your own thread? So why are you advising the OP to do the same diet as you that isn't working? I'm not trying to be rude-I'm genuinely curious.
